FINE TRIBUTE TO BUCHHOLZ
City Officials and Police Attend Rite
for Detective.
Final tribute to Paul L. Buchholz,
62, well known police detective who
died last Friday, was paid by scores
of pioneers, and others who attended
impressive rites in the Smith funeral
home yesterday. Mr. Buchholz, who
retired last July, had been a policeman for 33 years. He had resided
here for 43 years and held an enviable record as a law enforcement
officer.
Including Mayor Leonard Funk and
several city officials, the large crowd
was composed of many retired police
officers who served the city more than
a quarter of a century ago. The Rev.
Weldon M. Wilson of Grace Baptist
church officiated and declared no better eulogy could be delivered than a
recital of the life of Mr. Buchholz and
his faithful devotion to duty.
The Grace Baptist church quartet
sang "Goin' Home" and "No Night
There." Numerous beautiful floral
tributes were sent by friends and fellow officers of the former detective.
A police guard of honor escorted
the funeral procession to Greenwood
cemetery. Pallbearers were Detective
Captain James McCarry, Captain M.
S. Dugger, Sergeant Lee Markwood,
Detective Harry Alderson, Detective
Charles C. Mason and Detective A. M.
Nordean. For 20 years or more these
men had worked with Buchholz.
